Psalm 31:10-12

New Century Version

¹⁰ My life is ending in sadness,
    and my years are spent in crying.
My troubles are using up my strength,
    and my bones are getting weaker.
¹¹ Because of all my troubles, my enemies hate me,
    and even my neighbors look down on me.
When my friends see me,
    they are afraid and run.
¹² I am like a piece of a broken pot.
    I am forgotten as if I were dead.
